The Summer Singers is a seasonal a cappella ensemble that was founded in 1986 by music educator Grant Norum who provided singers an opportunity to continue singing after their regular choral seasons. The Summer Singers includes voices from some of the finest community, church, and professional choirs in the Twin Cities, all who have the same passion and deep love of fine choral literature. They provide concerts on free‐will offerings.

After Grants death in 2002, Vicki Peters was selected to direct and brings outstanding choral and vocal experience resulting in Minnesota ACDA and North Central ACDA performances. Their recordings have been heard on MPR and NPR, they have premiered new works by talented composers such as Joshua Shank, and were invited to perform at the International Lions Club conference held in Minneapolis.
